EFFECTIVE METHODS FOR TEACHING MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY TO A1-LEVEL MEDICAL STUDENTS: A THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE
Abstract
Medical terminology is essential for future healthcare professionals. However, for A1-level learners of English, understanding and using medical terms is a major challenge. This article explores theoretical and practical methods for teaching medical terminology to beginner-level medical students. It focuses on learner-centered techniques such as flashcards, videos, storytelling, role plays, and CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning). Though based on theoretical insights, the article reflects classroom strategies that can help students learn and remember medical vocabulary more effectively.
